I know some journalists say that we're living in the post-truth era and perhaps they're right in the sense that it's what the market needs?

We don't value right or wrong outside of the financial markets so much because there's not much profit to be made there. A politician doesn't need to know if their ally is ethical, only need to act according to the narratives. A piece about a company easily swayed by sponsorships and donations, or needless alarmism that keeps public mind away from real problems.

The current system we live in doesn't value the accuracy of the information and I think that's a tell on how badly the world is running.
